Veterinary Training
We at Greenbelt Veterinary Services feel that education is the most important investment you can make. Through education, you learn invaluable knowledge and skills that will continue to add benefit to your operation for many years to come. We feel that by providing excellent education to our dairy farm’s management team and workers, we can actually deliver more effective veterinary care to their farms.
Through DairySMART Management, we provide first-class hands-on education on virtually any area of a dairy operation. We have a variety of ready-made courses offered on yearly basis, as well as some excellent specific courses provided on an as-needed basis.
The Dairy Apprenticeship Program is a technical training program that covers a broad variety of topics: milking, milking equipment cleaning and maintenance, mastitis, animal handling, farm safety, identification of common diseases and more. The program runs yearly, and can be taken by itself, or as a course through one of our local high schools.
We provide one day educational conference for our dairy farmers every autumn. Topics are always timely and are aimed at making our dairy producers more successful. In addition, we typically run multiple smaller seminars on specific topics at different times throughout the year.
